Celebrating the founding of Cusco this festival is an impressive dramatisation of the most important Inca festival the Fiesta del Sol (Sun Festival). The rite ushers in the winter solstice or new sun (Inti Raymi) and takes place at the main square in front of the Sacsayhuam fortress, which is now an archaeological site. Thousands of actors recreate this epic ceremony, held entirely in the Quechua language. The festivities can be observed from the stones of the Sacsayhuamor from specially set aside areas. June 24.
